not directly tied to being green, but associated costs and requirements.

 Ga> Got to disagree with that completely.  These sources would agree with

Guess it depends on how much of it you're using, and how much generation you

While that could be used as fuel, it'll ultimately expire.

Not so sure, fusion might arrive tomorrow, or maybe its already here and its
at area51.  But its been RSN all of my life, probably just as likely to come
up with the first dyson sphere.

 Ga> I still stand firmly in the camp of nuclear as the solution.

I can only see it as a short-mid term solution, which is something its
